Bloodline is back for season 2 - first images and premiere date

News

Netflix has a lot of shows on the go, with marquee titles like House of Cards and Orange is the New Black and the Marvel imprints Daredevil and Jessica Jones. One surprise new entry last year was Bloodline, and it set itself apart by being a fun and somewhat pulpy thriller which was a bit less serious than a lot of the fare on the streaming service, and also featured an absolutely mesmerising central performance from the always great Ben Mendelsohn.

Anyone who enjoyed the first season might be wondering where things go from here and it seems there are plenty of ideas, with Netflix confirming season 2 will debut on the 27th of May. The cast are all returning for a story which will delve even further into the murky past of the Rayburn family and the lies and secrets which have been a part of their DNA for many years.

The official synopsis ends with the very telling line "With their backs against the wall, good people may have to do some very bad things..."

Honestly after watching season one I'm not convinced the Rayburns are particularly good people but it's going to be fun to see them back in action in just a couple of months. Here are the first official images from season 2.
